Blip: Hope You Like Masts And Interceptors

I'm pretty sure this is the largest number of masts we've ever had in a Blip, so enjoy

Today I asked my wife what car I should use for the Blip, and she suggested one of her favorite cars, the handsome, fast Jensen Interceptor. It’s a good choice! Plus, with July 4 coming up, there’s a very American core to the car, in the form of the big Chrysler V8s that made these things move. So, here you go!

There must be some connection between today Blip and Wednesday’s with the NSU parked next to the dock.

Maybe the dude on the boat in Wednesday’s Blip is actually a drug dealer and what we were witnessing was a drug buy. The guy then sails back to his slip and drives home in his Jensen, which he purchased with his ill-gotten gains.

Or maybe it’s just a scheme by Torch, the Illuminati and the military-industrial complex to confuse us on 4th of July weekend so we wind up drinking to excess, eating fatty, carcinogenic red-meat and shooting off explosives near our home in an attempt to thin the herd.  

Well, the jokes on you Torch, ‘cause me and the cat are spending the weekend indoors with our tin-foil caps while we search the dark web for your true intentions!!
